    Inspired by someone elses post - I decided to put all of my information together.

    HW: 276
    SW: 245

    Week 1 6/06/11 244.0
    Week 2 6/12/11 241.6
    Week 3 6/19/11 241.0
    Week 4 6/26/11 241.0

    Total Loss: Down 4 pounds
    Goal 235

    Ok so I am a bit stuck ... but thats just my body working its way through that bigger than usual loss. My scale is consistantly saying between 241 and 242 so I am getting closer to the drop I think!

    Here's my weigh-in for the week.

    6/5/11 180.6
    6/12/11: 183.8

    My workouts were not what they should have been this week and I'm paying the price :-(

    Thanks everyone for letting me know your weigh-ins, and great job this week! I can't believe the end of this new week, we will be a month into our challenge!!

    Here's my update: I've only lost 3 pounds so far, I was stuck at 190 for a bit (the first 2 weeks), and I haven't been working out as much as I used to and eating a little too much (but not going horribly over)... this week I'm really gonna work my butt off, go to the gym everyday and no cheating! (thankfully my mom just threw that chocolate cake away that always screams my name as I walk by it!) This Friday I get the keys to my new apartment so that day we'll be moving in a lot of our stuff (we aren't going to fully move in for about a week or so) so I'm not sure if that day will mess up my plan! Also, TOM should be here by in a week or so, so I really want to kick some major butt and lose before that comes and discourages me with water weight!)


    As for this week's challenge, I was thinking of doing bicycle crunches..........not sure how to explain how to do it, so I'll find a youtoube video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPKXFarXbys&feature=relmfu

    (I know in this video she holds a weight behind her head, but this isn't required.....and like always, this challenge isn't required either!! )

    Have a great Sunday night and here's to a great week for all of us!!)

    I may have forgotten to post last week...sorry! Here is the additional information:

    Starting: 262
    6/1: 255
    6/8: 252
    6/14: 250
    ____________________

    6/21: 249
    6/27:248 Total 14 lbs.

    I hope everyone has a wonderful week and stays strong through the holiday weekend! My siblings are coming in for a visit this week with their families, so this could be a real challenge. My goal right now is to at least drink all of my water every day and work out at least 5 of the next 7 days for a minimum of 30 minutes. Those things I can control, and I will. As for the food, I promise to do my best-with cookouts and family gatherings, choices may not be great. Plus the stress of dealing with my 10 siblings-wish me luck!
